Fish Tagging Research Seminar - Monday, 10/30 7-8:30 PM - Toms River, NJ

[RUCoopExt]

As part of the Rutgers University Marine Extension program, we'll be periodically hosting seminars and distributing other educational materials related to fisheries, aquaculture, and other coastal resource management issues.

Our next seminar will focus on fish tagging research and will take place on Monday, October 30 from 7:00-8:30 PM in the Toms River Branch (Mancini Hall) of the Ocean County Public Library (101 Washington Street, Toms River, NJ 08753). Please see the attached flyer.

I'll be presenting an overview of the most common tagging technologies being used to study fish behavior and migration patterns, including some example case studies. Our featured speaker, Dr. Jeff Kneebone from the New England Aquarium (but a NJ native!), will be presenting on tagging studies focused on striped bass, yellowfin tuna, and sand tiger sharks in a talk entitled "Battery powered research: using electronic tags to study popular recreational sportfish species in the northeast U.S.".

The event is open to all who are interested in attending. So, please come join us to learn more about fish tagging research and some of the data used to inform fishery management. I'll hopefully see many of you next Monday (10/30) night at the Toms River Branch of the Ocean County Public Library from 7:00-8:30 PM.
